low part count
no trimming/tuning required.
Only basic soldering skills and equipment are required!

Module description:

The VVCA is a dual linear VCA can be used for audio and CV signals.

The VVCA features two individual VCA’s. Each VCA behaves just like any other normal VCA when there is no cable connected to the velocity input. The velocity input offers velocity control over the CV input level, which means: The output level can be controlled by CV and Velocity.

This module uses the 5V rail (16 pin eurorack connector)!

Included items are:

Panel (128.5 x 20 x 2 mm)
PCB
All components (Resistors, capacitors, IC’s, etc.)
Connectors + hex nuts
montage screws
Rack crash protectors
16 pin power cable"

SDIY Class # 6 - The Sensor Sandwich : A Ribbon Controller with Pressure Sensitivity

Published on May 1, 2017 Synth Diy Guy

"In this class we go through devising and constructing a simple ribbon controller made up of two sensors sandwiched together: A Softpot ribbon from Sparkfun, and a pressure sensor lifted from a broken keybed. A very fun way to interact with your analog synthesizers!

Some ideas: Add an attenuator for the ribbon CV output. Make the circuit into a module (will work fine in 12v) and use a din cable to send the sensor data from the controller to the module. Make a board with many of these in different sizes, joysticks and an antenna, to control different parameters. The possibilities are endless!

The Deadbug Buffer : A Eurorack Active Multi on a Homemade panel

Published on Mar 20, 2017 Synth Diy Guy

"Deadbug is a prototyping technique where you glue an IC upsidedown on a copper panel and make point to point connections for everything else. A Buffered Multi is a CV distributor that preserves an input voltage unaltered over three low impedance outputs. Very useful for sending critical CV to multiple destinations. Have Fun.

Special thanks to my teachers, Vinicius Brazil, and Ray Wilson (RIP)"
